History edit
Skagit Valley Hospital was founded in 1958. The operations of the hospital are overseen by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, elected by the district's constituents. In June 2007, the hospital opened a 220,000 square foot expansion, at a cost of $95 million.[2] The expansion included 92 patient rooms, 6 operating rooms, a birthing center, and an emergency department.[2]
On July 1, 2010, Skagit Valley Hospital acquired Skagit Valley Medical Center, a multi-specialty medical group, with facilities in six locations in the Skagit Valley. As of the acquisition the former Medical Center facilities was renamed Skagit Regional Clinics. The combined organization is now known as Skagit Regional Health, which also acquired Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington in 2016.
In 2011, the hospital began training medical students.[3] In 2012, the hospital opened an internal medicine residency.[3]
